"I don't personally feel there has been a great deal said, or we have seen on the field any activities that haven’t take place for as long as the game has been played, and I'm sure it will continue to go that way."

Prior to Trott's departure from the tour, he was described as "poor and weak" by Australia's David Warner after scoring just 19 runs in his two innings in the Test opener.

But Gilchrist is adamant that would have played no part in the 32-year-old's decision to return home.

"Andy Flower himself said the sledging in this game wasn't particularly conducive to the decision Jonathan Trott made," he added.

"It has been an ongoing issue so I would be very surprised if that [the Warner comments] made his mind up.

"All of the Australia players, now being aware of that situation, will hope Jonathan is able to get away and clear his mind and get over whatever the hurdles are for him to come back to cricket and be the amazing player he has been up to this point. We wish him all the best."
